Why is it so cold in Hunan?

The weather in Hunan is so cold because Hunan has a subtropical monsoon climate, and the terrain barrier can't stop the cold current.

1, Hunan belongs to subtropical monsoon climate: Hunan belongs to subtropical monsoon climate, but its own terrain presents a "V" shape. In winter, the cold air in the north directly drives the Dongting Lake plain, forming a detour in the hinterland of Hunan, so the somatosensory temperature is relatively low. In addition, Hunan's plains are mainly concentrated in the north-central part, and cities are mostly distributed on these plains. After the invasion of the northern cold current, most cities in Hunan, such as Changsha, Xiangtan and Zhuzhou, were connected in series from north to south.

2. Terrain obstacles can't stop the cold current: Meteorological data show that compared with Jiangxi at the same latitude, the winter temperature in Hunan is also lower, because the terrain obstacles in the north of the two provinces are different. The northern part of Jiangxi Province is a continuous Dabie Mountain range, which can prevent cold air from invading Jiangxi in winter, while the northern part of Hunan Province is directly the Jianghan Plain in Hubei Province, and then connects with the North China Plain to the north. Although there are mountains, they are not as high and continuous as the main veins of Dabie Mountain.

How should local residents in Hunan keep out the cold?

First of all, warm clothes

Although the arrival of cold air causes the temperature to drop, the rain and snow weather is not sudden, so we can pay attention to the weather situation in time from the weather forecast. Prepare clothes that can keep out the cold before rain and snow, such as down jackets, coats, furs, etc. Although it snows locally, the temperature is not particularly low, so these clothes are enough to keep out the cold. In fact, we can take out the warm clothes to dry in advance, remove the musty smell and check whether they can be worn normally.

Second, heating equipment.

Some residential areas in Changsha have central heating equipment. Residents in these communities can check in advance whether the pipes are abnormal and whether they can heat normally. At the same time, they should do a good job of indoor pipeline insulation to prevent the pipeline from freezing and cracking in snowy weather. Residential areas without central heating can use heating equipment, such as installing heaters, electric heaters, electric blankets, etc. These heating devices are very convenient to use, but you must pay attention to the safety of electricity when using them, and remember to cut off the power supply after leaving to prevent the lines from aging and catching fire.

Third, travel to keep warm.

Even if it snows, traveling is inevitable. Pay attention to warm equipment when traveling. Residents who go out by electric car can prepare thick wind shields, knee pads, hats, gloves and helmets. Helmets can not only help us keep out the cold, but also ensure safety. Rain and snow can reduce the risk of falling. Residents who travel by car must pay attention to safety to avoid accidents caused by vehicle skidding. Be sure to keep yourself safe while keeping warm.
